The Facebook page is pretty close to up to date though. I can hop on that from my phone pretty easily, so it stays updated more so.
Now that I am about to get a new vehicle, things will be much more settled and structured for me. :)
So here is what has been going on at Moms On a Mission.
We have 30 members currently.
We we EXTREMELY successful (in my eyes) at the Poca Town Yardsale. We made $237. That was enough to get the girls participating in the Autism Walk their registration fees, PLUS put $100 back towards all of fees to go ahead and become incorporated. Awesome news! I don't want anyone to feel like they HAVE to question us. And I definitely don't want anyone to have any room to push our buttons! :)
I talked to an old friend, who I will be seeing more soon because he is coming back to WV for a while, who dabbles in marketing and I hope to have him on board with us soon! He sounds like he can get us some good publicity and really give us that push that we need.
Also, we had a little bit of "play money" left over so we decided to order camo rubber bracelets (like the LiveStrong ones) that read "Dallas is MY HERO!!" for Mr. Dallas Ridings. Dallas is a five year old hero that saved his little brother from getting badly burned by hot grease and in turn, was covered in 2nd and 3rd degree burns himself. His ENTIRE face was burned. We decided to sell these bracelets for $5 a piece and use the money that we get from them to buy Dallas the special UV Protective clothing that he needs for daily functioning. So far we were able to get him SEVERAL pieces of clothing. And hope to be able to get him more!
We also had business cards, fridge magnets, and a banner made so everyone will know who we are at events! I think they all turned out GREAT!
We extended our food drive to July 14th. I can't really get out and do much without a car, so we extended it. :)
We had our event at Bob Evan's Restaurant for Dallas Ridings (the little boy mentioned above) and we all had a pretty good time. We got to meet Dallas and I got to see some old co-workers! Teri Blevins from Lil' Bit of Heaven Cupcakes donated a GIANT Camo cupcake for Dallas. HE LOVED IT! Let me tell you, he little face lit UP when he saw it! And he even laughed when his mom caught him sneaking a bite before dinner! It was great! We got him some army men, and Lori King made him a Super Hero Cape and Mask. The cape even had pockets on the inside for him to hide things! And the kiddos drew him pictures. It was totally sweet! Children really are amazing sometimes.
A big THANK YOU to Laura Forster-Knight also! She gave up her Mary Kay profits for a day and blew Facebook up about support Dallas! In the day that she was giving up for donation she received a fair amount of orders and is donating all proceeds to Dallas! How awesome is she? And here's the kicker...she is even in TENNESSEE!!!
We have also picked up a few fairs and such to try to get more money for the group.
JULY 4th - Town of Buffalo Celebration - goodies, drinks, crafts and more!
JULY 7th - (Previously posted) City Festival in Chesapeake - crafts and lots of fun!
JULY 14th - YARD SALE in Charleston - 703 Grant Street 8AM to 2PM - yard sale items, crafts, goodies, refreshments, and more!
OH! And I almost forgot! We are the official Welcoming committee for the National Kidney Foundation's Walk here is Charleston!! Woo hoo!!
And we will almost be helping out with the Conquer Chiari Walk.
I'm sure that I have forgotten a lot, but my old brain doesn't function quite as well anymore. lol
I will keep everyone updated!!!
